    Hi, I'm also located in Portland. There's more activity along the I-5 corridor than I'm aware of on the coast. There's a blacksmith shop in Gearhart, Or. just north of Seaside, Or. on hiway 101, run by John Emmerling one of the board members of the NWBA. Check out blacksmith.org (NWBA site) and snoop around and introduce yourself. I do some of my smithing at Ft. Vancouver National Historic site. We have a guild and are a seperate ABANA affiliate, although most of us belong to the NWBA also. Welcome!

    Hi, my name is Gary. I'm from Portland belong to the NWBA and also smith at Powerland and Ft. Vancouver. Is your shop in Shaniko the small cedar board shed on the backstreet? I saw it last year on our way through town. I was hoping someone would show up to work in it.

    Glenn, I have not been able to log on at my home computer for a week. I input my username and password, the site welcomes me and when it redirects me to the forums I'm not logged in again. Has my account changed somehow with the new changes? I also just tried to start a new thread through the info. forum and told I didn't have clearance. Thanks, Gary

    What's a "hook rule"?

    I once heard an old blacksmith saying or a toast, "May the peen marks on your forehead be few"!

    I made a fireplace tool set for my daughter and son-in-law and had the broom professionally tied. They were very pleased. Blacksmiths - Custom Brooms on Your Forged Handles - BroomShop.com

    The one I have like that is called a Hanson vice ( I have a copy of an old ad I'll try to post) and I have none of the fitted jaw parts for it. I was hoping to forge some. I thought about incorporating it into a portable nail making set-up. If the owner wouldn't mind maybe he'd let you take a picture of some of the different jaws. I'd appreciate seeing what some of them look like. Thanks, Gary

    I wear an OLD farrier's apron. I don't like anything tied around my neck and I haven't burned anything yet above the waist.
